The full book is currently out but I'll keep this up anyways. A preview of the book I am currently writing for Chapters 1 and 2. All content here is subject to editing later so don't be surprised if what you read here isn't exactly what you read in the finished version of the book. IRON LUNG is an unofficial book adaptation of the horror video game with the same name.

Luke has been in love with his best friend, Taylor, for too long now and it's getting difficult to be around him. He knows it's time to move on and find someone who can make him happy, but he feels like that will never happen, not with the way Taylor has his heart... ***** Being in love with your best friend is hard. Luke Peterson knows this better than anyone else, as he's agonized over his feelings for Taylor Schofield for the past five years. So when he meets the handsome and confident Will Carson who wants to help him get over Taylor, it seems like the perfect chance for him to move on. But can Luke truly give Will a chance? Or will his heart always belong to his best friend? Content and trigger warning: This story contains descriptions of suicide and homophobia.
